Advantages of Thermistor

The following are the advantages of the thermistor.

1.      The thermistor is compact, long durable and less expensive.

2.      The properly aged thermistor has good stability.

3.      The response time of the thermistor changes from seconds to minutes. Their response time depends on the detecting mass and the thermal capacity of the thermistor.

4.      The upper thermistor limit of the temperature depends on the physical variation of the material, and the lower temperature depends on the resistance reaching a large value.

5.      The self-heating of the thermistor is avoided by minimising the current passes through it.

6.      The thermistor is installed at the distance of the measuring circuit. Thus the reading is free from the error caused by the resistance of the lead.

The thermistor has more advantages as compared to the conventional thermocouple and resistance thermometer. Along with the temperature sensing the thermistor are also used in various other application.
